Flaherty, Torres help Tigers snap six-game losing streak with 10-4 win over Blue Jays
DETROIT (AP) — Jack Flaherty pitched six scoreless innings, Gleyer Torres hit a three-run homer and the Detroit Tigers ended a six-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Detroit had lost 12 of its past 13 games. Toronto fell to 8-2 since the All-Star break. Flaherty (6-10) allowed a double and four singles. He struck out seven and walked one to end a seven-start winless streak. Max Scherzer (1-1), pitching on his 41st birthday, fell to 2-3 in five career starts against his former team. He allowed three hits in seven innings, including Torres' homer, and struck out 11 without issuing a walk. Dillon Dingler started the third with a single and took third on a Parker Meadows double. Scherzer retired the next two batters, but Torres hit a high fastball into the right-field stands for a three-run homer. The Tigers put the game away with seven runs in the eighth inning, including six with two out. Toronto scored four runs in the ninth off reliever Luke Jackson, who was making his Tigers debut. Bo Bichette had five of Toronto's 10 hits, extending his on-base streak to 19 games. Key moment The Blue Jays had runners on the corners with two out in the seventh. Brenan Hanifee relieved Tyler Holton and threw a slider over the middle of the plate. The ball left George Springer's bat at 108 mph, but Parker Meadows made a simple catch of the line drive in center field. Key stat The loss prevented Toronto from sweeping a four-game series from the Tigers for the first time in franchise history. Up next The Blue Jays travel to Baltimore for a four-game series against the Orioles. RHP Chris Bassitt (11-4, 3.88) is scheduled to start Monday's opener. Detroit remains home for a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Tigers face former teammate LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (3-6, 5.50) on Monday night. ___ AP MLB:

New NHL CBA Will Make It Tougher For Canadian Teams To Compete
TORONTO, ON - APRIL 27: Auston Matthews #34 of the Toronto Maple Leafs sets for a face-off against ... More the Boston Bruins during the second period in Game Four of the First Round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Scotiabank Arena on April 27, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Kevin Sousa/NHLI via Getty Images) It was already tough for NHL teams in Canada to compete. Taxes are high, the weather isn't great and the media scrutiny is intense (just ask Mitch Marner). Well, the new NHL CBA is about to make things a bit more challenging for Canadian teams. The issue relates to taxes. Under the old CBA, all of a player's contract could be comprised of signing bonuses except for the CBA mandated yearly minimum salary. That has changed. The new CBA limits bonuses to 60% of a contract. Why does this matter? The Canadian tax on signing bonuses for non-residents of Canada is limited to 15%, with the player then paying the balance owing at the prevailing tax rate in his home state in the United States. So while a player who claims to be a resident of a U.S. state pays taxes in both Canada and the U.S., the combined tax savings is significant, potentially saving the player millions of dollars over the term of the contract. So to minimize the tax burden, some players on Canadian teams structure their contracts primarily by way of signing bonuses knowing those bonuses will only be taxed at 15% in Canada. That's why you sometimes see a player sign a deal with the CBA base salary of $775,000 and the other $10 million in signing bonuses. Taxes, taxes, taxes. Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthew signed a 4 year/$53,000,000 with $49,650,000 in signing bonuses. By structuring the contract with 94% in signing bonuses, Arizona resident Matthews stands to enjoy a substantial tax savings. On his last deal alone, Matthews saved around $4 million in taxes across his 5 year deal worth $58,201,250. MONTREAL, CANADA - FEBRUARY 3: Carey Price #31 of the Montreal Canadiens makes a pad save on the ... More puck on an attempt by Daniel Alfredsson #11 of the Ottawa Senators during the NHL game at the Bell Centre on February 3, 2013 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Canadiens defeated the Senators 2-1. (Photo by) Matthews isn't the only player that has signed bonus laden contracts with a Canadian team to diminish the tax impact. Carey Price's contract has $70 million of the $84 million allocated to signing bonuses, which amounts to 84% of the total value of the contract. On his $122 million deal, 93% of Leon Draisaitl's contract is signing bonuses. And 75% of William Nylander's contract is comprised of signing bonuses. The money adds up quickly. With players having finite careers and finite earning potential, saving as much money as possible matters. And now there can be as much as an additional 35% of a player's income exposed to the very high Canadian tax rates. With the Canadiens, Leafs, Senators and Canucks leading the league in income tax rates, and with all seven Canadian teams in the top eleven in the NHL, things just got a bit more complicated for Canadian teams. It's tough enough with these teams competing against teams in tax free states like Florida, Tennessee, Nevada and Texas. And now, a relief valve for Canadian teams has been partially closed.
